CTLA Winter Arts Crafts Festival Vendor Application 2010

We will have tools and gardening equipment needed for the job, but if you have tools that you love to use, feel free to bring them.

Like other work days on Christmas Tree Lane, we will have donuts, coffee, hot chocolate, and bottled water for all the volunteers who show up and a homemade lunch after we are done for the day. Also if you plan to bring a group that is more then five people and plan to stay for lunch, please email or call us at 626-403-1123 so we will have enough food for all.

Thanks and see you on the Lane!

Though the weather was not always great all the volunteers were. Thanks to your hard work all the lights are out of the trees now.

We would also like to thank those who live on the lane for the patience and understanding.

We hope to see everyone soon.

Santa Rosa Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic weekends, starting at Altadena Drive on February 13^th and ending at Woodbury Road by April 25^th one block at a time

NOTICE The section of the street where we are working will be closed to traffic with vehicle barricades and orange traffic cones. Due to circumstances beyond our control, a major change from our past practices it that Local Residents’ vehicles will no longer be allowed through the barricades where we are working. Again we ask your patience and request you pass this information to other who might frequent your property to respect the barricades. You be notified a few days proceeding when we will be working on your block.

Consider joining us on this fun community project. You will have a great time with your friends and neighbors

We will be starting at the top of Christmas Tree Lane (Santa Rosa and Altadena Drive) and working our way down every weekend until finished.

2) We can only move as fast as our tree climbers, so, if you would be willing to climb about one story up a ladder, please tell us when you come and we will show you what to do. (To get an idea of the height, go to any tree on the Lane, look up and see the metal box…that’s about how far up you’d need to go).

If you have any further questions about the specifics of screwing in bulbs and taking lines off the trees, give us a call.

Thank you and we hope to see you on the Lane!!

With you continued support we hope to have a great 2010.

If you want a second opportunity to support Christmas Tree Lane, come this Saturday, December 19th to the “North Lake Pole Holiday Shop Hop”, the North Lake business district’s ongoing holiday shopping event.

All those disappointed by the canceled event will have another opportunity to support the Lane by purchasing some of the expanded line of memorabila this coming Saturday for 10am to 4pm.

The Lane is noted for their note cards, holiday greeting cards, miscellaneous gifts, and other items produced by the association that preserves the historic landmark and tree lighting tradition.

Despite last weekend’s canceled lighting ceremony, the lighting of the trees continues daily from dusk until midnight and is ongoing until January 1st, and again on January 6th and 7th for Orthodox Christmas.
